1. I don't, either. I am a former tipped employee (waitress). I made less than minimum wage and had to claim my tips on my taxes. I needed those tips, or I would have been making about $6,000 a year for a full time job. I also worked at a Dunkin Donuts, and we were required to refuse tips if offered. We made more than minimum wage, and did not claim tips. I would be shocked if the Starbucks employees were claiming tips. Why should they get untaxed wages on money that people are giving them from their own taxed wages? Seems unfair if you ask me...

21. Hubby burps a lot, too. He claims I don't understand...and seems to think I privately burp as much as he does.

I know myself well enough to know that getting up when the alarm first goes off will only happen once a year. That is why I set my alarm extra early to allow myself at least 45 minutes of hitting the snooze. People like me who lack self-discipline just have to trick themselves.

I would make an awesome lady of leisure. And I'll prove it as soon as the lottery gods come through for me. I've been faithfully making my $1 sacrifice for a while now, so it's only a matter of time... ;-)

I would definitely do well as a lady of leisure. If we could both somehow pull off that scheme, we could meet for coffee all the time (and not tip the coffee person). By the way, I know exactly which coffee shop you are talking about with the trivia questions. I never tip there either. In fact, I'm annoyed they even have a tip jar out. Tipping is to acknowledge service. Simply ringing up my order and sending me to pick it up at the other end of the counter from someone else does not equal tip-worthy "service" in my book. (Yes, I am a crotchedy old lady. Had you really not figured that out yet?)
